1 不要因作恶的人心怀不平， 不要因犯罪的人产生嫉妒。（本节在《马索拉抄本》包括细字标题） 2 因为他们好像草快要枯干， 像即将凋萎的青草。 3 你要倚靠耶和华， 并要行善； 你要住在地上， 以信实为粮食。 4 你要以耶和华为乐， 他就把你心里所求的赐给你。 5 你要把你的道路交托耶和华， 并倚靠他， 他就必成全。 6 他必使你的公义好像光发出， 使你的公正如日中天。 7 你要在耶和华面前静默无声， 耐心地等候他； 不要因那凡事顺利的， 和那恶谋得逞的， 心怀不平。 8 你要抑制怒气， 消除烈怒； 不要心怀不平， 那只会导致你作恶。 9 因为作恶的必被剪除， 但等候耶和华的必承受地土。 10 再过不久， 恶人就不存在了； 你到他的地方寻找， 也找不到。 11 但谦卑的人必承受地土， 可以享受丰盛的平安。 12 恶人谋害义人， 向他咬牙切齿； 13 但主必笑他， 因为知道他遭报的日子快要来到。 14 恶人已经拔出刀来， 拉开了弓， 要打倒困苦和贫穷的人， 杀害行为正直的人。 15 他们的刀必刺入自己的心， 他们的弓必被折断。 16 一个义人拥有的虽少， 胜过许多恶人的财富。 17 因为恶人的膀臂必被折断， 耶和华却扶持义人。 18 耶和华眷顾完全人在世的日子， 他们的产业必存到永远。 19 在患难的时候， 他们必不蒙羞； 在饥荒的日子， 他们必得饱足。 20 恶人却必灭亡； 耶和华的仇敌好像草场的华美， 他们必要消失， 像烟一般消失。 21 恶人借贷总不偿还， 义人却慷慨施舍。 22 蒙耶和华赐福的， 必承受地土； 受他咒诅的， 必被剪除。 23 人的脚步是耶和华立定的， 他的道路也是耶和华喜悦的。 24 他虽然跌跤， 却不至仆倒； 因为耶和华用手扶持他。 25 我从前年幼， 现在年老， 从未见过义人被弃， 也从未见过他的后裔讨饭。 26 他常常慷慨借给人； 他的后裔必定蒙福。 27 应当离恶行善， 你就可以永远安居。 28 因为耶和华喜爱公正， 也不撇弃他的圣民； 他们必永远蒙庇佑， 恶人的后裔却必被剪除。 29 义人必承受地土， 永远居住在自己的地上。 30 义人的口说出智慧， 他的舌头讲论正义。 31 神的律法在他心里， 他的脚步必不滑跌。 32 恶人窥伺义人， 想要杀死他。 33 耶和华必不把他撇弃在恶人的手中， 在审判的时候， 也不定他的罪。 34 你要等候耶和华， 谨守他的道； 他必高举你， 使你承受地土； 恶人被剪除的时候， 你必看见。 35 我曾看见强暴的恶人兴旺， 像树木在本土茂盛。 36 但他很快就消逝， 不再存在了； 我寻找他， 却找不到。 37 你要细察完全人， 观看正直人； 因为爱和平的必有后代。 38 犯罪的人必一同灭绝， 恶人的后代必被剪除。 39 义人的拯救是由耶和华而来； 在患难的时候， 他作他们的避难所。 40 耶和华帮助他们， 搭救他们； 他搭救他们脱离恶人， 拯救他们， 因为他们投靠他。

1 By David. Do not fret because of evil doers, Be not envious against doers of iniquity,2 For as grass speedily they are cut off, And as the greenness of the tender grass do fade.3 Trust in Jehovah, and do good, Dwell [in] the land, and enjoy faithfulness,4 And delight thyself on Jehovah, And He giveth to thee the petitions of thy heart.5 Roll on Jehovah thy way, And trust upon Him, and He worketh,6 And hath brought out as light thy righteousness, And thy judgment as noon-day.7 Be silent for Jehovah, and stay thyself for Him, Do not fret because of him Who is making prosperous his way, Because of a man doing wicked devices.8 Desist from anger, and forsake fury, Fret not thyself only to do evil.9 For evil doers are cut off, As to those waiting on Jehovah, they possess the land.10 And yet a little, and the wicked is not, And thou hast considered his place, and it is not.11 And the humble do possess the land, And they have delighted themselves In the abundance of peace.12 The wicked is devising against the righteous, And gnashing against him his teeth.13 The Lord doth laugh at him, For He hath seen that his day cometh.14 A sword have the wicked opened, And they have trodden their bow, To cause to fall the poor and needy, To slaughter the upright of the way.15 Their sword doth enter into their own heart, And their bows are shivered.16 Better [is] the little of the righteous, Than the store of many wicked.17 For the arms of the wicked are shivered, And Jehovah is sustaining the righteous.18 Jehovah knoweth the days of the perfect, And their inheritance is -- to the age.19 They are not ashamed in a time of evil, And in days of famine they are satisfied.20 But the wicked perish, and the enemies of Jehovah, As the preciousness of lambs, Have been consumed, In smoke they have been consumed.21 The wicked is borrowing and repayeth not, And the righteous is gracious and giving.22 For His blessed ones do possess the land, And His reviled ones are cut off.23 From Jehovah [are] the steps of a man, They have been prepared, And his way he desireth.24 When he falleth, he is not cast down, For Jehovah is sustaining his hand.25 Young I have been, I have also become old, And I have not seen the righteous forsaken, And his seed seeking bread.26 All the day he is gracious and lending, And his seed [is] for a blessing.27 Turn aside from evil, and do good, and dwell to the age.28 For Jehovah is loving judgment, And He doth not forsake His saintly ones, To the age they have been kept, And the seed of the wicked is cut off.29 The righteous possess the land, And they dwell for ever on it.30 The mouth of the righteous uttereth wisdom, And his tongue speaketh judgment.31 The law of his God [is] his heart, His steps do not slide.32 The wicked is watching for the righteous, And is seeking to put him to death.33 Jehovah doth not leave him in his hand, Nor condemn him in his being judged.34 Look unto Jehovah, and keep His way, And He doth exalt thee to possess the land, In the wicked being cut off -- thou seest!35 I have seen the wicked terrible, And spreading as a green native plant,36 And he passeth away, and lo, he is not, And I seek him, and he is not found!37 Observe the perfect, and see the upright, For the latter end of each [is] peace.38 And transgressors were destroyed together, The latter end of the wicked was cut off.39 And the salvation of the righteous [is] from Jehovah, Their strong place in a time of adversity.40 And Jehovah doth help them and deliver them, He delivereth them from the wicked, And saveth them, Because they trusted in Him!
